[FPS Benchmarks] PUBG on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) and RTX 3060 (65W) – the 95W GPU is 22% faster
PUBG is one of the well-known games that belong to the battle royale genre. The goal is simple – if you want the win, you have to be the last man standing on a huge map full of other players that are scavenging for weapons and ammo.
Graphically, the game looks okay but it’s not the most beautiful battle royale title out there – for example, Apex Legends looks better. On the other hand, PUBG isn’t a heavy game when it comes to system resources and that’s one of the biggest pros of this game. People with not-so-powerful devices can have fun with PUBG with lowered visual settings.
For this article, we have picked two good NVIDIA Ampere GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) and RTX 3060 (65W).

Verdict
Expectedly, the bigger GPU is the winner. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) has a 30W bigger TGP and that leads to better performance in most games. Here, the 95W GPU is 21% faster compared to the smaller sibling. However, the GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) can show 122 FPS on Ultra quality which is a decent result for a 65W GPU.
